We talked about the madness of Finns with their igloos and saunas. Their Swedish neighbors are also. Everyone has heard about ice houses, so it’s not original. But in this case, the realization is incredible. Comfortable bed, bedside tables, armchairs, table, nothing is forgotten. The design was particularly worked out.

We had already presented the pool in the sky. Imagine swimming in a pool and diving into the water, you discover the ground several meters below. Apparently, the architects decided to make us swim in the sky. Here you will see a swimming pool in Y. The Y can be inhabited with water above the head. You did not think it could be possible, well then!

There are enthusiasts of the ruins, and besides, I am one of them. A few walls on top of a hill, an old castle abandoned in the midst of lush vegetation, a ghost village close to an abandoned mine, and it makes me happy. But you rarely see ruins with feet in the water. No doubt because water very quickly degrades these ruins. No doubt also because it is difficult to access these ruins. But when you have the chance to discover these ruins, what a joy!

When a Catholic meets a Protestant, what do you think is happening? You can imagine the difficulty of getting married, having children confronted with both religions. But the most terrible is to be separated by death, forced to be buried in different cemeteries. Here, these two have found the means to stay together, even after death.

What I like about creators is their limitless imagination. With very little, they are able to create a fantastic universe. Look in this example. By taking very ordinary objects, and by playing on their shadow, and with a little drawing, we succeed in producing very amazing scenes. This requires interpretation work and a lot of calculated madness!

The design has arrived all over our lives, and yet there are still places where the delay is obvious. In the field of prostheses, the delay is soon filled. Look at this wonderful work. Of course, the handicap is difficult and it is necessary to sympathize with the difficulty of living with this situation. But we can make very aesthetic objects with creativity.

Are you fed up with typical Italian Renaissance furniture? Tired of the carved wood furniture of the old noble houses? We have the solution: here are the furniture made with 3D printing! Attention, if you are sensitive to modernity, this post is not for you. The shapes of these objects are very original. On the other hand, we did not meet anyone who sat on these items to see their opinion …

I remember this campsite by a river overhung by a bridge. A path left this campsite, passed under the bridge, slipped between two houses of the village, and returned to the bridge. From there you could see the campsite, the river, and the surrounding landscape. And I thought to myself: it’s all different when you look from a bridge! Here we present a selection of the most beautiful waterfalls that we see from a bridge. The pictures are not made on the bridge, but integrate the bridge and the waterfall. Imagine what you can see from the bridge!

You now know the 3D printing that allows to print a structure imagined in a software into a real object. This object can be made of plastic, concrete, or a whole lot of other materials. You also know the drones, these flying devices without pilots who can move and take pictures. Here are the drone builder: This drone can take polystyrene bricks and assemble a construction. Of course, polystyrene bricks are lightweight, but one day, drones will be able to build an entire house with solid materials. Imagine the future: you build your home plans on computer, with software like http://archiplain.com/makeyourplan, and you start building your home with another software that controls several drones!

Finally something right! Many people give advice about ecology, but it is often difficult to see what is right or wrong. Here, a very serious organization, NASA, has given a list of the best plants that purify the air from your home. This is a detailed study that indicates the names of the plants and what they are capable of doing. It’s up to you to buy them and experience it for yourself. But it will be necessary to be able to grow these plants, otherwise they will not give you anything!

When you walk in nature, it is fun to look at the clouds and imagine shapes like an animal or an object. The same applies to the forest: for example, by looking at the discovered roots of a tree, one can imagine all possible forms. Here, an artist went further by directly sculpting everything he finds in the forest, directly on the trees and their roots. The result is spectacular, sometimes disturbing. Imagine yourself lost at night in the forest and you see these strange shapes in the darkness …
